Hear from celebrated author Iona Winter as she shares her experiences and views of her creative writing journey and the publishing industry.
Iona Winter (Waitaha/Pākehā) lives in Ōtepoti Dunedin. Published and anthologised in Aotearoa and internationally, she writes in hybrid forms that explore the spaces between poetry and prose.
Her debut collection, 'then the wind came', was published in 2018 (Steele Roberts). A graduate of the Master of Creative Writing programme at AUT, Iona has been shortlisted for the Bath Novella-in-Flash Award, performed her work at LitCrawl 2018, Creative Cities Southern Hui 2017, the Edinburgh International Book Festival 2016, and won the Headland Frontier Prize in 2016.
Iona is the Dunedin Regional Chair for National Flash Fiction Day. She is currently working on an 'almost' completed poetry manuscript, and exploring a collaborative project with sonic and visual artists.
